Lavender Shortbread

makes 12 small cookies
preheat oven 325*F

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon dried lavender blossoms
1/3 cup icing sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour

• Beat butter until fluffy
  
• Add lavender, icing sugar and vanilla – beat well
  
• Add flour and beat on medium until completely kneaded. The dough will grab together in a mass
  
• Line a baking sheet with parchment
  
• Using a small scoop, make 12 balls
  
• Place balls on baking sheet and flatten to 1/4 inch thickness – I used a ramekin
  
• Prick each cookie with the tines of a fork then place in preheated oven
  
• Bake for 20 minutes then check – cookies should be lightly browned on the bottom – I cooked mine for 5 more minutes…
  
• Remove from oven, make the tea and enjoy!
